You're an amazing teacher & obviously could have been a vet or doctor but thank goodness you chose to do what you do & your entire family & your viewers are all the better for it..
One of my does, Fly Girl, delivered a stillborn doeling and placenta. 5 days later.... Seriously, 5 days.... She delivered J-Lo!!. And another placenta!! Never heard of that before!! Congrats to Mama. Good job! 2 handsome boys
omg those boys are just GORGEOUS! stormy did awesome for a first freshener! congrats on the lovely babies eager to see them grow they are just so stunning. well done heather. now i cant wait for the spring babies!
Congratulations on two healthy Bucklings and mama Stormy. So far so good all my doe's took on their first heat. So our big buck will be staying for one more week for the visiting girls to make sure they took. Thank you for sharing till next time God Bless.
Thank you, for sharing the birth, of the baby goats. They beautiful, you were so calm, during the births. You did so good. Congratulations goat grandma. Love, loved the video. Thank you again. ♥️🧓😘
I lost count of how many times I said AWW in tbis video. The kids are darling and I'm glad Stormy came through so well considering how big those boys are.
Two beautiful babies!! Stormy did great, especially for the first time and delivering two BIG boys. Of course she had a wonderful assistant to help her! That is very interesting that she had two Placentia. Had you not been present you may have never known. So glad all went well for Stormy and her boys. As always, thanks for sharing and stay safe!!🙏❤🇺🇸
I wonder how much longer she would have taken to kid without help too. That second baby had passed meconium and was already stressed so I was really glad I decided to help. I have not noticed ALL the placentas of all the mamas and so I'm sure someone else has had two pass and I've not noticed!
So if they have twins and they both have their own placenta, isnt it normal to pass 2 placentas? What happens to the other one? I googled it and all I could find was that each baby has their own placenta if they are multiples.
@@pennybutler418 it's not common to see one come out before kids are done, and with the births I've attended on my farm with multiples I've only ever seen one placenta and it always came out last. Could have been fused placentas maybe but you'll see it's not uncommon either for baby goats to share only one.
@@SageandStoneHomestead Thanks so much. I really love your channel and I learn so much! We breed pygmy goats, so I find everything you talk about super interesting and helpful. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boys! 🎉 I have to mention how very well you explain everything to your viewers as we watch. Thank you. 😊 Wondering if you were or are maybe a teacher??? Have a blessed day from south Texas! 💕🙏🏼💕
I was kind of hoping that my girls would kid a little later in March, but it seems as though they all came into season at the same time. At one point my young buck was being mobbed by 5 girls at the same time! I was starting to get worried about the little guy! He seemed to have survived, though.😄
Placentas are magical. I am always grateful when they are expelled in their entirety! Retained placentas are very worrying. We had one doe pass two placentas. It has only been obvious to me once in our 15 years of kidding. I have worked in horse stables much of my life and I remember an "old school" equine veterinarian took a hose to fill the mare's expelled placenta with water so that he could ascertain if their were any pieces missing. It held the water beautifully which meant it was all there. If the doe doesn't want to eat the placenta I bury it and give thanks to Mother Nature for a successful birth. It never gets old. I just wish they did not experience so much pain.❤
This was a painful birth for stormy, 5lb first baby is ROUGH! SO glad we waited a bit to breed her so she was bigger. I love placenta they are so neat!
@@SageandStoneHomestead I forgot to say congratulations Stormy! She is amazing. We always keep Meloxicam injectable on hand especially for first fresheners. So pleased you were patient and allowed her to grow before having kids.
It's as cool to watch it from your view as from the skyview barn camera! I had thought the bucklings were darker colored, but alas, they appear red-gold, which I know is a dominant gene, but still! LOL The are healthy, vocal, and flashy so that's pretty awesome! A little disappointed that Nefarious and Stormy didn't result in any girls this time, but maybe next time (fingers crossed)!
So happy it went pretty well, even if she took her sweet time about it! Haha. Had tons of fun chatting on the barn stream while we waited, those are the memories of lovely community. Their coats lightened up a lot in daylight vs wet and nighttime. Both are super cute and adorable, and also appear strong! Stormy is a great mom, could tell even shortly after birth she's on it! Now to wait for fabulous spring kiddings! 💚💚
She is SUCH a natural. I just was down there sitting with them and the boys are keeping her well-drained and she let me touch her udder without jumping around so that was nice!! Having so many people up and waiting with me is a huge help for me just in moral support as things can definitely drag on sometimes!! I appreciate you!!
A really useful and informative video, thank you. Those kids are so cute! We haven't had kids here since February 2023, and probably won't have more until spring 2026, so we're missing the 'new life on the farm' feeling, but we should have lambs next spring, yay!
No! Most of the time things work out on their own. Our babies are bigger than average for sure and I am trying to figure out if it's part of my management that grows bigger babies. these babies should have been 3lbs each maybe 3.5
Missed the birth of our first kid, seen a clear stringy thing hanging out, but no sign of placenta. What’s the odds she already consumed it before we got out there? The baby was dry but no placenta in sight.
Congratulations! First time freshener, Stormy..... knows just what to do. @ 12:39 > I am so glad you put down a cloth for the > Gooey Kids....and not right in the wood chips / straw. Drives me crazy to see Does having to lick off everything that gets 'Stuck' on their babies. 👅 Makes me wants to jump through my screen and help her wipe them off. Haha.
I had a lamb come out with the placenta on his back legs. That looked crazy to me. I saw 2 placentas on lambing stall floor after one of mine twinned but I thought it was just a broken placenta.
@@SageandStoneHomestead I unfortunatly had a doe that consumed her own kits regularly, on her last kindling before retiring I watched from start to finish, aside from some girls never eating it so had to removed manually.
@@SageandStoneHomestead not conclusive, I was told she needed more fiber, but even with diet change she continued to do so with the following litters. Issues started after she had a false pregnancy, so don't know if that had anything to do with it. She is now a retired member of our herd, since I couldn't bring myself to send her to freezer camp.
It's more about size and what I'll be breeding them to. If I'm breeding a standard lamancha to a Nigerian Dwarf 80 lbs and good width is what I look for. Breeding standard to standard 120 is ideal.
Nice job Heather, watching Stormy so closely and being there for her. Nice big healthy kids. > The best part.... is seeing the kids nurse for the first time. (then 'we' know....they will be fine) > Moon spots @22:09 is Not a thing for me. ( Makes me wonder.....who came up with this 'moon spot' thing? Is it a fad?) > Polled nice. ✔ Is Nefarious the father?
Moonspots are a genetic hair color that does not randomly come through, at least one parent must carry the gene for them to express so I'd say it's not a fad any more than any other genetic marking or expression like polled. The spots don't give any extra marks at shows (just like polled does not) but contribute to beauty in a herd and I really like them, I'm trying to get them into the mini Lamanchas as they are rare to see on that breed. You definitely don't have to like them but many many people do. :)
Yes! I do find that to be true. The reason I wanted to help with the second kid is because I saw placenta and knew there was a baby in there and didn't like that. I was glad I went in after him!
I am familiar with these diseases as we disease test the herd annually. Never had any signs of q fever in the herd, in fact you'll see it's most often contracted by humans when inhaling dust. We also drink the milk raw and I have read it could pass that way too. We are not worried about things such as this without cause. If we see miscarriage we will address it further.
Are you interested in the real answer or was that rhetorical? When I see a goat pushing with all her might with no progress this is a sign for me to hold tension so her pushing is not in vain and the babies can be delivered before mom is totally exhausted and babies get stressed and potentially die. There are times where this is not necessary and knowing when to intervene is part of experience. I appreciate genuine questions, please refrain from being judgemental especially if you've never been in my position before.

I just knew she was having boys. I thought three but look at the size. She’s going to have lots of milk for those two hungry boys. ❤❤❤🐐🐐
You guessed all boys, you were right haha
Well done Stormy. Those are really cute little boys. Boy number is just so chill though!
She finally let them free!! They are so adorable!

What sweet baby bucklings! Stormy did very well!!
Adorable boys!! Mama is such a natural attentive Mom for a first freshener!
Yes she's a natural!! ♥
Thank you for taking us along for the birth of these two beautiful boys. I love your videos.
They are beautiful 😍 Congratulations on another successful goat birth!
How precious! Stormy finally did it. And those babies i just wanna hold and smooch all the time. Oh my gosh!
They are indeed smoochable!!

It's called SNS Animal POV :) I haven't posted in a bit, I need to put a camera on a goat again soon !

Wow! Adorable!
Yay! Another video! Keep up the good work wonderful video Love from Morocco!
My wish is to someday have a small farm. Hopefully it will come true.
I had twins as well. Pretty sure I sounded like her too.😂
I'm sure!! Lol! I know I did in birth and I only ever had singles and most of them were small babies.
Oh man. I may have babies in the spring. Does everyone always have to be so hands on?
No! Most of the time things work out on their own. Our babies are bigger than average for sure and I am trying to figure out if it's part of my management that grows bigger babies. these babies should have been 3lbs each maybe 3.5

Good chance she passed it! Clear string is fine, you just don't want to see tissue

Drives me crazy to see Does having to lick off everything that gets 'Stuck' on their babies. 👅 Makes me wants to jump through my screen and help her wipe them off. Haha.

I have heard that when you assist in the first kid that often you need to assist with the rest of the kids. Do you find this to be true overall?
Yes! I do find that to be true. The reason I wanted to help with the second kid is because I saw placenta and knew there was a baby in there and didn't like that. I was glad I went in after him!
Maybe I’m confused, but I thought I saw three babies born
Nope not this birth!

Totally necessary! Read up on Q fever. I had it after delivering a foal and was very sick.
